“Oenophiles have SIDEWAYS and BOTTLE SHOCK; now their beer-loving counterparts can claim a film as their own. This truly American tale looks at the struggle between big breweries (Coors, Miller, and Budweiser) and their smaller competition (such as Dogfish Head) as the companies fight for shelf space and bar orders. Directed by Anat Baron, this documentary not only looks at the beer industry, but also examines the plight of small businesses in America.”

“Beer Wars<\/em>: Brewed in America, is an eye-opening, funny and righteously infuriating documentary by first-time filmmaker Anat Baron. Her film (think of it as Suds<\/em>: A Love Story) is your basic David and Goliath story (told through the eyes of two small entrepreneurs) with Baron as its peripatetic narrator and conscience, and while it\u2019s a tad heavy-handed at times it\u2019s also a pretty damning indictment of not just the beer industry but contemporary unfettered unregulated capitalism\u2019s disturbing excesses. Given our current economic climate (not to mention the health care debate \u2014 the beer companies will definitely remind you of some of the current players in that little brouhaha) this is a film with all sorts of resonances beyond its immediate subject.” Boxoffice Magazine<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“Beer Wars<\/em> is the perfect kind of documentary, one that is both informative and enjoyable to watch in every sense the filmmaker intended. Not only that, it gives the viewer a new-found appreciation for the smaller companies that are attempting to make any kind of headway in a world dominated by only a few. Beer Wars<\/em> is a triumphant mixture of style, information, and storytelling. Let\u2019s just hope Baron\u2019s interests do not stop at the world of alcohol.”

“Beer Wars<\/em> is thick with insight into one of the favorite adult beverages in the world. But filmmaker Anat Baron smartly gives us an American story\u2013one with ironic bite and wit. Check out what you\u2019re drinking. After watching Beer Wars<\/em>, I\u2019ll study more closely that paper label soaking up condensation on my favorite beer. Smaller just might be better\u2026.”

“BEER WARS certainly raises some interesting questions, the most potent of which is, is this what capitalism was meant to be?” New Times<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

“BEER WARS has opened up a conversation that\u2019s long been going on behind industry doors. An important step in changing some of the real issues independent brewers face in America today\u2026 Thanks to Baron and her film subjects, the biases, angles and facts are out on the table. Decide for yourself.” Mutineer Magazine<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“This feature-length independent documentary goes behind the scenes of the U.S. beer industry, revealing the struggles of independent brewers and their battles against the corporate beer giants. Director and producer Anat Baron comes through with one of the most interesting and revealing films of the year.
